Relic Items Easily Obtained?

[odette]

Greetings!

The entire post in it's Wall-o-Text glory can be found here.

It is in said post that Yoshida makes a comment regarding implementation items such as Excalibur (often classified as relic weapons) sometime in the far future.

It is after reading the post in it's entirety that I wonder how such items shall be obtained by the player base.

I personally liked the lore & quests associated with trying to obtain a relic weapon in a Final Fantasy title. It was a long & grueling process, but in the end I felt a sense of accomplishment because I obtained an item unlike anything else in the game (Or in FF11 terms, an item that very few people had).

That being said, how would you like these relic items to be obtained if you had a say?

Instanced dungeons? Crafted from rare items? Or that long & grueling process that gave meaning to the word "relic"? Or something else?

forget ffxi in the past, ffxi was crappy hardcore game, but the time changes please no more post "we want ffxi-2"
